“Sweet local spot and amazing jalapeño poppers“

“Great food in a great location. Would definitely go back.“

“We discovered Webb’s a year ago & have tried just about everything on the menu. The staff is amazing and the food is great. I love how they are adding news items. The new years event was super fun and the special menu for Valentine’s Day was incredible. 10/10 recommend“

“BRC is Amazing!!! 👏 🍺🍻🌮🥳🥂“

“Docent is Decent. Got me a Mouthful of Church on Time, 8.2 DIPA. Lisa has a Peel Top.“

“Great craft brewery 10 minutes from John Wayne Airport. Attached to a place called the anti-mall ( never knew) with shops, restaurants, stuff..great pre-flight choice for a flight 😂😅😉“

“Fun new spot near the airport in Irvine with tasty beer and a great vibe. Tucked back in an industrial area but with a great big outdoor patio with plenty of seating. Inside has a mix of tables couches and bar seating with a fun vibe. Hip music playing throughout. Incredibly friendly staff talk through the beers on tap to help make selections. Taster sized pours mean you can try all of them without feeling guilty. A few seltzers on tap I didn’t try but also a selection of IPAs, IIPAs and pilsners. Brewer has experience from Greek Cheek and excited to see what they have in store. Check it out for sure!“

“Salty Bear in Costa Mesa is a really chill spot with a relaxed vibe and friendly staff. The atmosphere is great for hanging out with friends, and the prices are fair for both drinks and food. I love the overall energy of the place, it feels casual and welcoming. The only downside is that the tables and booths are pretty uncomfortable and not very sturdy, which makes it hard to fully relax and enjoy a long visit. Still, it’s a great spot overall, and I’ll definitely be back for the good vibes and solid value.“

“Great beer and food is amazing.“

“We were walking around shopping and stopped in to have a cocktail and a snack. The cocktails were great - not too sweet and the bartender put hearts in the foam - cute addition. We had the coconut shrimp and wings - both were good and hit the spot! Everyone was so friendly and personable - had some laughs!“

“Good beer selection and dog friendly.“

“Been wanting to stop in for years. Was in the shopping plaza next door and had some time so I took the opportunity. Being early Sat afternoon, there were only a dozen or so customers. The place isn't huge but if you don't mind standing there's enough space between tables. Some food is available (I didn't order any) and they have food trucks some nights as well as entertainment. True to their website claim, there were indeed 30 taps with 30 beers to choose from, some local/regional and others from afar. I decided to sample and got three 5-oz glasses after talking with Dawn, the bar tender, who recommended a couple based on my preferences. I think my favorite was the dark, coffee flavored beer on nitro. There's something for everyone and I'll definitely return, esp with family and friends seeking good brew. I highly recommend the Brewhouse, you won't be disappointed.“

“We held our daughter and son-in-laws “ day after wedding” gathering for friends and family who couldn’t make it on their wedding day in 2021 (because of COVID limitations). We also just held a co-ed baby shower for them just this past weekend there.(2023). You now can reserve an area (for a fee) and get catered platters of food items. This made it so much easier than individual orders. Usually there is a band playing on Saturdays and Sundays. The staff were all nice and great to work with. It was great to have a large outdoor venue for their baby shower.“
